Darren Buckner of Workfrom

Today, I’m talking with , the Founder and CEO of , where he and his team are working to create social, professional and economic infrastructure for individuals and teams who work remotely. The last job I had that wasn’t remote was when I worked at Best Buy in high school (and that was a long time ago) so I’ve had a lot of experience working remotely but that doesn’t mean I’ve figured it all out by any means. I’m still trying to figure out the best way for me to maintain productivity and sanity, and it’s tough. Now that I manage a remote team, I not only have to figure out what works for me, but I also have to help support the rest of the team and I still have a ton to learn there. Darren has thought about remote work more than just about anybody, and he has lived it himself as an employee and boss, so I was excited to have him on to pick his brain and see how we all can improve. In our chat, we dive into being an effective leader of a remote team, everything from how to support your team to the ins and outs of management. The future is remote, but we have to make sure we approach it the right way and Darren’s talk today will help us all do that.
